Kyuramen - Queens

Food was well-presented. However, the flavors were incredibly lacking. I ate at this establishment awhile back during the pandemic when they provided complimentary masks and wipes and was not impressed. I returned this past January with my friends to give it another try and unfortunately, my opinion has not changed. Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen $15) was bland and the pork in the Bao Buns $9) had an overwhelming abundance of fat. The sauce inside the Bao Buns was nothing to rave about either. It actually deterred me from eating more if anything. Upside is the restaurant was beautifully decorated and there was a wall inside the restaurant where you could hang a wooden slab with your name or a drawing!

Its a cute little set up. We ate in a closed private booth. Nice way to enjoy your food. Goyza dumpling and popcorn chicken was okay. The ramen was okay too. Not too spicy but a little bland in flavor for my liking. The lemonade was a bit concentrated I had to water it down. Straight foward menu not too complicated to order.

Great portions and delicious food. Drinks menu was solis too. I loved the ability to customize and get two different types of broth in one bowl, as I'm very indecisive.

I cannot recommend KYURAMEN enough. I came in with no expectations but I was blown away at how absurdly tasty my meal was! The private booths beneath the main seating area make you feel like you’re in a different world- certainly not in NYC. My husband ordered the #6 combo which was Spicy Kyushu Tonkatsu ramen with a steamed pork bao and Thai iced tea. I ordered the classic omurice with demi glace and the Amazing Lemonade, which was indeed amazing. Overall KYURAMEN in Flushing has delicious food with a beautiful, calming atmosphere and excellent service. My husband and I had a wonderful lunch and will absolutely be back again, I can’t wait! ?

The atmosphere is beautiful and makes eating your meal more enjoyable. The wooden slats and modern lighting makes it feel like you 're eating inside art. I believe the style is called 'Japandi ', a mix of Japanese and Scandinavian decorative styles of using simple, well done furniture pieces to evoke a feeling of cleanliness and relaxation. After being seated upstairs, I ordered the tonkotsu and shio ramen. I don 't know if they make their noodles in house or not but they taste and look like the one sold in the package. Not saying it 's bad, it 's just okay, enough, and nothing to be impressed about. If they had hakata style noodles then I would be impressed. The broth itself is too sweet for my taste, it tastes similar to premade Lee Kum Kee Japanese style pork bone soup base. I say that because Ive used it before and upon my first bite I immediately recalled that exact flavor.There were two tonkotsu styles to choose from, shio or miso I believe, and shio broths have a distinct clean salt flavor. The tonkotsu shio I ordered, I couldn 't pick out the shio broth at all. The sweetness, whether from the corn or broth, overwhelmed everything else. The charsiu and menma were delicious however. The egg was nice and yolky but boy, do you need to try the spicy sauerkraut! That alone saved the dish. It would be perfect on rice, noodles, karaage, hell, put it on a donut and I 'd eat it. I feel like Kyuramen is close to perfection with the ramen toppings, but the broth is not quite there nor do the noodles taste special in any way. If I had more time in New York, maybe I 'd give other items on the menu a shot, but as far as the ramen goes.... I couldn 't say it 's enough to come back.
